Mohawk English uses metalinguistic cues that reflect Iroquoian grammatical and sociolinguistic patterning. Although phrases like "It seems to me" are common in many varieties of English, Mohawk English speakers use these words and phrases in subtly different ways from other speakers of English. These differences could lead to misinterpretation by health care providers.
莫霍克英语使用的元语言线索反映了易洛魁语的语法和社会语言模式。尽管像“在我看来”这样的短语在许多英语变体中很常见，但说莫霍克英语的人使用这些单词和短语的方式与其他说英语的人略有不同。这些差异可能会导致医疗服务提供者产生误解。
